Maybe because it is too easy to do it that way?My mind obviously got caught on one track.

It messes up the reply, unless I correct it manually. /> Read carefully through some of the advise given in all other posts. I used to have a fixed size for the fonts of my page header. Now I have a relative font. The header fits the design of a page because it has a visual context. If all fonts can be enlarged (or made smaller) but the header font remains the same size, your carefully chosen proportional design gets lost. Also remember that communicating your message is imo always the important bit. The looks come second, but at some distance. Others may think differently though. A visitor will usually visit your site with only one browser (type) ever and will therefore never notice a possible difference in visual rendering between various browsers. So, if a page communicates its contents clearly and it looks good (enough), although different from the looks in an other browser, your work as a designer is more or less done. -- ,-- --<--@ -- PretLetters: 'woest wyf', met vele interesses: ----------. | weblog | http://home.wanadoo.nl/b.de.zoete/_private/weblog.html | | webontwerp | http://home.wanadoo.nl/b.de.zoete/html/webontwerp.html | |zweefvliegen | http://home.wanadoo.nl/b.de.zoete/html/vliegen.html | `-------------------------------------------------- --<--@ ------------' |
